Galaxy Template

from GalCiv3 Forums

Is there  a tutorial on modifying making the galaxy template dds file? I tried to some editing in GIMP but GalCiv didn't like it. What I am trying to do is make the centre of the spiral galaxy mostly empty (because I don't think there would be any habitable planets in such a densely packed clump). What I would like to do is make the centre densely packed with stars, gas giants, asteroids and resources but no habitable planets. Not sure if that kind of design is possible but anyway...

The map editor in game should do what you want.

delete systems, Add items, save map. etc.

When I used the map editor I could only delete one thing at a time and that was too time consuming for me, especially where I was trying to reshape a large area. Also I was hoping to make a new spiral template so that I could generate random maps with a slightly different design. Between work and kids I only get  1 or 2 hours a week to play this not really keen on spending the next three or four weeks making one map.

So a map template edit instructions or a tutorial would be more beneficial for me.
